>>>>>>>>"Reader's Digest" was not simply a collection of articles from other publications. The articles were re-written at a 5th grade educational level designed to make the material available to even the poorly educated, with paragraphs missing or rewritten from the source articles which did not support their particular alternate reality. This augmented the selection bias of the articles chosen. Readers Digest lied by omission. The cultural rebellion of the late 1960s was in many ways a repudiation of the false image of reality portrayed by "Reader's Digest".<<<<<<<<<

True but it helped many in restricted countries to read about what is happening around in the world - better doctored than nothing
